I'm not going to discuss the plot here, as that would probably spoil things for you, but suffice it to say, this is not the dumb slasher movie that the cover* suggests and, if you enjoyed the likes of Dead of Night, The Butterfly Effect, Memento, Donnie Darko or even Run Lola Run, you are sure to find something to enjoy in Triangle.

Superb blu-ray transfer (the beautifully filmed yachting scenes are amongst the clearest HD pictures I've seen since Planet Earth) and the 5.1 surround sound is flawless.

Watch it with your partner; let her/him cuddle up to you during the (frequent) creepy and (occasionally) make-you-jump scenes, then discuss it and see if you come to the same conclusion. If you want a real spoiler, then I reckon Gaffer75's excellent review below probably hit the nail squarely on the head.

Only criticism? I'm not so sure it merits further viewings, once the "twist" is revealed.

* If you have the blu-ray version with the 3D-effect sleeve, there IS something of a blatant clue therein!

This is one of those movies that polarises opinion. You either get it and love it, get it and hate it or don't get it at all and wonder what the point of it is.

My advice is if you haven't seen the film and intend to do so, DO NOT READ THESE REVIEWS. Far too much is given away in some of them. It is much better to sit down and watch it with no concept of what is to come. Make up your own mind, one opinion is worth no more than the next, despite what some self-aggrandising critics and reviewers seem to think.

If you haven't seen it, this is all you really need to know. Troubled single mum and coffee shop waitress Melissa George is persuaded by an admirer to join him and some of his friends on board his yacht for a day's sailing off the Miami coast. While at sea, a strange storm capsizes the yacht with one of the party missing, presumed dead. When a passing cruise liner picks them up, they believe they are saved. But once on board, George's character gets one of those "deja vu" moments...

***SPOILERS***

As others have said, this is a film which rewards a second viewing. For instance, the drum in the ship's ballroom is exactly the same as the drum being used by the boy at the car crash scene, something I only noticed second time round. This sort of attention to detail adds to the "dream-like" quality of the story.

Of course the big flaw is the fact that George's character seems to remember certain things but not others. This appears to be explained away by the fact that when she falls asleep her memory is in effect "re-set" and she can only recall the odd moment through deja vu. Convenient!Read more ›

Let's say you could live your life over again, would you change anything knowing the outcome is going to be a disaster? You would, but who would watch the movie?

This movie plays on a theme used in "Twilight Zone" episodes and various movies since the 1950's: Where the person sees themselves and integrates their present action to duplicate what has happened in the past. While it was done well in this movie, it didn't stand out as compared to others.

Did anyone else notice that Melissa George got augmentations after the movie to pose for the cover? The movie drops the F-bomb a few times, but is not bogged down with swearing. It has killing and blood, but spares us gore.

"Triangle" is a well thought and clevery made psychological horror and I liked it a lot. It was made on a budget and without any major stars being present, but I think it actually did this film a lot of good.

The charm of this film is all in the story, its twists and its secrets - and so I will not reveal anything other than the opening sequence: a young woman comforts a hysterically sobbing little boy (her son) and once he stops crying explains him, that Mummy is just taking this one day off to go make a tour on sailing boat with friends. The rest of the film is for you to discover... Let's just say one thing - one should REALLY think twice before boarding the Flying Dutchman, because there may very well be NO ESCAPE from this seven times cursed ship!

The atmosphere in "Triangle" is a mixture of weird and scary, but even if it progressively gets scarier and scarier it never gets too weird. The director kept the film very strictly under control and therefore there is no obvious plot holes or useless scenes. Thanks God there is also no any kind of absurd "final battle" scenes which hurt so many thrillers and horrors. The ending (last 5 minutes) is quite clever - and chilling... Melissa George did a very very good job in this film and helped a lot to make it a success as her character (Jess) is the center of all the story and all other actors play (very honestly) supporting roles.

Please do NOT be concerned by the idiotic picture of a masked figure armed with an axe on the cover of the DVD - this is definitely NOT just another "slasher" film about an axe murderer (in USA the DVD cover is completely different and much more appropriate)!Read more ›
